Mechanical engineer Matt McBride and eye doctor Joe Thompson turned into part-time detectives to see what was going on with the pumping system that keeps the "bowl" New Orleans sits in dry. Thompson, 42, went snooping at local Pump Station No. 1, inviting himself in for a tour (so much for security). He soon found that five of the station's seven pumps had been submerged by post-Katrina floodwaters. One, turned on after the waters receded, caught fire. He got a similar report at Pump Station...
